How to Build Up a Town,
A contributor to an exchange
tells in the following paragraphs
how to build up a town :
.“Join no organization looking
to* the upbuilding of the town.
This will prove an encouragement
to those who spend their time and
money u to sustain such orgauiza
tions.
Impugn the motives of those
who join and always charge them
with a desire to advertise them¬
selves. This inspires patriotic
men to work all the harder for
the public good.
Pour cold water on every new
enterprise, predict its early fail¬
ure, and contribute to that end
by patr mining its rivals in other
towns. This will encourage oth
ers to put their money in home
enterprises.
V\ hen strangers visit your town
let them wander around loose
and enlighten themselves byread
snd pumping ‘ (he pro
, oafet They will carry
away a delightful remembrance
of their visit and advertise the
town wherever they go.
‘Cuss out’ your public officials
(behind their backs, of course,)
an d then accuse them of every
thing from larceny to high treas
on> li0 matter whether you can
substantiate your charges or not.
This wiii prove an incentive to a
complete fulfillment of their of¬
ficial obligations.
Be sure'to buy all the goods
you cau from.a traveling man who
lives oir of your town even
though you got them at the same
price from one as from the other.
It matters not if the home man
spends his money m your town,
taxes, and possibly has an
ace 'Uu, t, with you every month,
1 Li- of course will encourage
a great many traveling men to
move to your town and aid you
i n the above matters.
,. lien your town paper differs -------
^ riiightf , st with your ideas
^ ^ public policy, declare that
it has been bought up and prompt¬
ly cut off your patronage, The
edito* will turn the other cheek
and redouble his efforts in behalf
of the town and the ‘goal people.’
Observe these rules closely and
there can be no question about
the growth of the town. It will
grow and continue to grow—up
into weeds—until it shall ulti¬
mately become a fit habitation
alone for bats and owls.”
“A syndicate has bought the
old Baker mill property, near
this place, on Yellow River and
have a large force of hands build¬
ing and moving obstructions.
Thev propose to put in a paper
mill as soon as they can get the
buildings erected and perhaps a
cotton mill later on They will
also run the old corn mill for the
convenience of the people bevond
the river. The Ordinary has been
petitioned to build a bridge and
open a public road from this
place to tho T/'gansville road near
Pleasant Hill church. Such a
road will open up a large scope of
country that heretofore has been
difficult to get to and we hope
that our Ordinary will have it
put through at once, Mr. Wal
ter Almand, of Conyers, is gen¬
eral manager of this new company.
We welcome him and his compa¬
ny into our community and wish
both much success.'’—Rock Chap¬
el cor, Dekalb New Era.
The above is true only in pait.
We gather from Mr. Almand that
a pulp mill and handle factory
will be put in and operated at
the point on the river designated
by this correspondent, Other
industries mav be established
there later on.
Mr. Lamar Tigner, the bright
and popular young newspaper
man who for several years was an
esteemed employee of the Enter¬
prise but recently connected with
the News at Fayetteville, was
here last Saturday and Sundav
on a visit to his mother. His
many home friends will be inter¬
ested to learn that he has just ac¬
cepted a position with Editor
